Does anyone know of any legitimate work from home jobs?

[Kristen B.]

I am the mother of two wonderful children, and I'm not ready to leave home to work. Do you know of any legitimate work from home positions? I've been scammed one too many times by searching online. They say: Pay this much money and start your own business! I'm not doing that. I just need to know if any of you know of an honest work from home position. Thank you!

All online jobs are a scam and any sites asking you to pay to join to make money are scams. However it is possible to make money online without spending any money. It won't make you rich and it is not a job, but generally the more you do online and the more time you spend online the more you can make.

The main way many people make money online is through their own website or web pages. Of course, if you've no clue how to make a website that is not the best option, but there are still other options.
